What it does

Patois Pal is a structured Jamaican Patois course rather than a bare translator. The listing describes three seasons of lessons moving from basic vocabulary through real situations such as dating, work, travel and family, and then into grammar and sentence building, with each lesson drilled through four exercise types: translate, fill in the blank, interpret and a speed round.

Around the lessons it adds a story mode with branching Patois conversations, a survival mode with a single life, and a game of Jamaican dominoes against computer opponents that talk back in Patois. A culture section carries Jamaican history, dishes with recipes and places, and there is a searchable dictionary with audio, a daily phrase, a daily challenge, streaks and a rank ladder.

An AI translator is included, limited on the free tier and unlimited on a paid Pro tier, which is where the freemium pricing comes from. The app is published by Anthony Ramsay as an individual developer with a first release in March 2026, and no developer website or country appears on the listing.
